Sugar … oh hunny, hunny!! Whoever said sweets weren’t good for you was sadly mistaken!! If beautiful curls are what you and your clients covet, then get ready, get set and indulge kinks with just the right treat!

Sugar … oh hunny, hunny!! I have a sweet tooth like no other. I can smell something sweet from a mile away! If you're like me at all, you'll love Miss Jessie's new Super Sweetback Treatment, which smells uber-delicious!

Miss Jessie's Super Sweetback Treatment is an ultra-rich emulsion that will satisfy hair while softening and elongating every strand, which, in turn, delivers a deep treatment specifically for growing out natural hair-getting that length many clients desire.
Thanks to growth stimulants like shea butter and centella extract, among a number of other deliciously sweet ingredients, Super Sweetback Treatment leaves hair with lengthened curls. Great for clients transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair.

Once weekly, smooth a golf-ball sized amount of the conditioning treatment onto damp curls (which smells like delicious bubble gum!! Yummers!!). Smooth it on section by section from the root downward and then run a wide-toothed comb through to detangle.
In the salon, use a steam treatment or an overhead dryer on a heated setting to enhance results. For clients at home, have them apply the treatment before they shower and let the steam from the shower penetrate each strand. Wait 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse and style.
Like all of Miss Jessie's products, Super Sweetback Treatment uses only natural ingredients. Check out missjessies.com!
